Two $10,000 Winning Mega Millions Tickets Sold in Maryland; $1.58 Billion Ticket Sold in Florida

While last night’s gigantic $1.58 billion Mega Millions jackpot was won by a lucky lottery player in Florida, two $10,000 winning tickets were sold in Maryland; at a 7-Eleven (5920 Pulaski Highway) in Baltimore and at a Wawa (709 Belair Road) in Harford County. Last week, six $10,000 winning tickets were sold in Maryland. Additional details below courtesy of MD Lottery:
The winning numbers to match were the white balls 13, 19, 20, 32 and 33 plus the gold Mega Ball 14; the optional Megaplier was X2. Lottery officials encourage winners to sign the back of their tickets immediately and put them in a safe location until they can claim their prize. Winners have 182 days from the date of the drawing to claim prizes.

The state had 26 third-tier winners of at least $10,000 during this jackpot run that started on April 21. There have been over 1 million winning tickets sold in Maryland during that time. More than $56.5 million in sales occurred during the roll, and based on approximately 25% of sales being returned to the state, the profit to the Maryland General Fund from those sales was about $14.5 million. The last Maryland jackpot win came in March 2014, when Maryland and Florida players split a $414 million jackpot. That winning ticket was sold at Lady’s Liquors in La Plata. Mega Millions tickets are sold in 47 states and jurisdictions. Odds of winning a $1 million prize are 1 in 12 million with overall odds of winning 1 in 24.” Featured image courtesy of Google Maps.
